You're still training -Wahoo! You still plan on running a half marathon, just the timing isn't good right now. You're being a wise steward of what God has entrusted to you. You've no doubt felt led by the Lord to withdraw this time, so that's a step of obedience and that's NEVER wrong or "failing". You've also no doubt made this decision with Jeff and if he also encouraged this course right now then you're being a submissive wife and that's Biblical - so how, on earth can you be failing! Disappointed? Yes. But failing? Not from what I see. You've doing the right thing - the hard thing, but the right thing. God has just called you to run a different race :o)<BR/><BR/>It's tough when we have to give up and surrender something we had set our heart on. I know. I've had to surrender my plans of coming back to "She Speaks" next year. I honestly cried as I prayed and surrendered that plan to the Lord. Financially things are different here right now as well. However, I keep thinking of Micca's message on Sunday morning at the conference this year. Sometimes God asks us to let go of things and we don't understand, but if we trust Him, His plans will be better in the end than anything we could have imagined.<BR/><BR/>He has great plans for you too my friend!!!! I know you know that! Love ya tons and praying you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!<BR/>Love & prayers,<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.com
